Your tasty Coriander chutney is ready...

Variation:

1) I prefer coriander leaves to be raw so I have not fried with other ingredients in kadai. If you want the coriander leaves to be cooked, you can fry  for few secs with onion tomato mixture.

Tips:

1) Always wash and clean the coriander leaves for twice or thrice to remove dirt and mud.
